"You know... it looks nice out here." Said Po breaking the silence.
Tigress looked over and saw the sunset Po was staring at, it turned the sky orange as well as giving the valley a orange tint.
"I agree... it looks great." She said quietly.
Po looked towards her concerned, she has been acting gloomy and sad all day, even keeping herself quiet in the presence of her friends.
It got to the point even Master Shifu couldn't help but be concerned, so wanting to help his daughter he formulated a plan.
Have her go patrolling with Po.
Though a very simple plan he knew if she was going to open up, it would be in the presence of the Panda.
He told Po of the plan, asking to find out what is wrong. Po accepted, also wanting to help his best friend.
So here they were... walking.
Po took a deep breathe and sighed. He stopped walking and grabbed Tigress' shoulder to face her.
"Tigress..." he said calmly.
"Yeah?"
"Whats wrong?" He asked getting straight to the point.
"What do you mean?" She said monotonously.
"I mean... what's wrong? You have been... not you." He stumbled.
"What?"
He sighed once more,"You haven't been acting like yourself."
She glanced down to the floor and became silent,
Po noticed her sudden silence and decided to attack the problem head on.
"Is there something bothering you?" He asked soothingly.
"No..." she said quickly, bringing a frown to Po's face.
"Tigress... you are my best friend and I have known you for years so I know when you are lying."
"..."
"Tigress... come on its me... you can tell me anything." He said reassuringly when she spoke up.
"Have you... ever been in love?" She said in a whispered manner.
Po froze, that wasn't really what he had expected to come out of her mouth. He shook himself awake and focused on his friend.
"Well uh... yeah." He said.
She continued on,"When you were... did you ever feel... doubtful?"
Po tilted his head,"What do you mean?"
"Like... you weren't right for them." She said lowering her head.
Po held a small smile,"Yeah..."
She instantly looked up at him,"Really?"
"Yeah... I mean being the only Panda in town I always felt like no one would want me." He said truthfully.
He saw her sadden a bit more,"Im sorry." She said.
"Don't be... I love the life I have now! And my friends." He said wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
"But why did you ask that?" He pondered.
"Do you not feel right for someone?" He asked her.
After a bit she nodded slightly.
"Yeah."
Po frowned, who could be so good that even Tigress would doubt herself. "He better be good." He thought to himself.
"Tigress you shouldn't doubt yourself... you are an amazing kung fu warrior!" He told her.
"Thats the thing Po... Im just a kung fu warrior, i'm not girly, I don't dress like one, I don't act like one Heck people mistake me for a guy!" She said in an angry tone.
"That doesn't mean you aren't beautiful." Po said sternly.
Tigress scoffed,"Who has ever thought I was beautiful..." she said in a dark tone.
"I have..." Po said causing her to go silent, her mouth slightly opening in surprise.
She shook her head,"You are just trying to make me feel better." She said sadly.
"But I'm not... I really do..." he said sweetly.
"I think you are amazing! Your eyes, they shine brighter than the stars in the sky, and you fur is elegant, its almost hypnotic! So don't ever think you aren't beautiful because to me you are more than so." He finished.
All she could do was stand there in awe at what he said.
"Y-You r-really think so?" She asked stunned.
"Of course I do." He said gently walking directly in front of her, taking her paws in his own.
He looked at their now connected paws and continued."How can't I... that's what I always think when I see you." He looked up into her eyes.
"It always made me wonder how someone as great as you, saw some one like me as something worthy of your time."
And before he could say anything else Tigress suddenly smashed her lips into his, caressing his face in her paws.
It didn't take Po long to respond as he instantly began to kiss back, setting his paws on her waist.
Po felt his whole world spin as they kissed until they finally broke apart, breathing heavily.
"I always wanted to do that." Said Po now a little giddy. Causing Tigress to giggle.
"Me too." She said happily.
Now realizing something Po looked into her eyes.
"What made you think you weren't right for me?"
He asked her.
"I just thought I wasn't enough for you." She said simply.
"I know nothing about romance, so I don't know what to give you." She said sadly.
Po put on a small smile as he cupped her cheeks.
"I don't know anything about romance either, but I do know that we could figure it out together." He said as he kissed her again, with her quickly melting into it with a smile.
As they broke apart Po took her paw,"Now lets keep on patrolling so we can go back to the palace." He said beginning to walk.
Tigress smiled and griped his paw tightly.
"yeah lets go."
